Motivational School Speaker – The Speaker with the Orange Tie aka Mr Orange – Show Reel Video
‘One teacher told me that she got no work done because she became utterly immersed in Steve’s session.
His delivery was excellent, he was personable, upbeat, interesting, and very believable. Delivery of these sessions is clearly his passion.
I think that he is the best speaker that we have had so far – highly recommended!’

How To Deliver Your Next Assembly With Confidence
WRITTEN TESTIMONIALS
Such a fantastic session which provided a range of practical and actionable strategies along with smart studying and time management tips which are all directly applicable to my child’s revision routine. Amazing!
As a parent and governor at the school I’m excited to embed these strategies into my own children’s learning journey and support Eddie and the school in using these strategies to foster positive revision environment, both at home and within the school, where motivation, self-discipline, and confidence are encouraged.
Thanks Steve! 🧡
We had a day of engaging and powerful talks across Years 7, 8 and 10. The sessions were exemplary, had a really clear destination and a buzz was created around shifting mindset and seeing things from a different perspective. We would highly recommend Steve – a great inspiration for our students. Thank you.
I have just tried to summarise your 90 minutes to my two boys (aged 21 and 15) – tricky. It was your energy, practical application of neuroscience and ability to engage young people in an authentic way to demonstrate and model your messages that was so impressive.
We really enjoyed having Steve at our school, he has the ability to engage and inspire the students.
Thank you to Steve for visiting Rainham School for Girls. He delivered an engaging and interesting session to our Year 11 students; reinforcing the power of a positive mindset has enabled our pupils to reflect and think deeply about their GCSE journey
Inviting Steve to give a motivational keynote at the end of our National Awards Presentation was a great way to end the day. With over 700 students and parents present he was not only motivational and inspiring but had great content which challenged the thinking norms and make it fun at the same time. The impact was evident in that he got a standing ovation at the end too!
Steve is an amazing motivational speaker. If you want your students to be engaged and inspired then they need to listen to this man. 100% positive feedback back from 180 15 year olds shows how good he is. Looking forward to having him back soon
We employed Steve’s services for a day working with our Yr9’s, he was excellent, the students loved his style and approach, very engaging.
Steve’s ability to engage and captivate the students while also teaching them some important life skills was incredible to observe. I cannot thank him enough for his work and the positive energy that comes with it
Can I just say that Steve was awesome delivering the LPT session – well engaged with the pupils, energetic, fun and interactive. He really involved the pupils in all the activities and made them want to participate.
All the pupils have said that they want Steve to come back again and have a longer session with him, so I have had nothing but positive feedback.
I have had the pleasure of meeting Steve on a few occasions to speak to students I work with. His workshops are engaging, motivational and leave students feeling inspired. Steve always manages to get everybody in the room involved in his workshops and as a client he listens to our key messages and conveys them to the students in a way that we are not always able to. We hope that Steve will be back to work with more of our students!
I first met Steve at Let Me Play’s Waites’ Employability camp at Nottingham University earlier this summer. His talk was an outstanding and engaging hour and it really captivated our young people as well as myself.
Steve is an inspiring and incredibly motivating man and I have taken on board of lot of what he spoke about in that one, short session and use regularly in my day to day life.
If you are wanting a speaker that will make a definite impact, Steve is your man!
Steve was engaging and fun, the students loved him and learnt so much from him. We look forward to inviting him back next year.
Steve ‘The Man with the Orange Tie’ really contributed something special to our Year 11 Celebration Event. He engaged and motivated young people to dream big and work smart, to achieve success through his imaginative revision skills workshop and captivating performance style. I believe his bubbly personality really brought a wave of energy to the event, keeping students fully engaged. The workshop stimulated minds and produced lots of laughs.Running an event with a lot of different people involved can be highly stressful. I very much appreciated Steve’s punctuality and preparation for this event as it left me with one less worry!
Steve made an amazing difference to our students when he spoke for us about developing a Leadership Mindset. The students were engaged throughout his presentation. We are delighted to be using his services again this year.
Just wanted to say a huge thank you for the sessions you delivered today speaking with Leigh. I know the year 8 students enjoyed it just as much as the year 9s in the first session with me. Your fantastic approach to the topics and engagement with the students will undoubtedly be a talking point amongst the students and they will remember lots from the session.
I had the pleasure of working with Steve today and found him to be energetic, professional and extremely well received by his audience. Steve’s unique approach to gaining and holding the attention of a young audience allowed content to be delivered efficiently and effectively. It was inspiring to see what a man can achieve with a smile and an orange tie.
Steve is truly captivating speaker delivering talks with great content. I have invited Steve to give a talk on “The 4 steps to conquering self-defeating habits” for career changers of the London Career Coaching Meetup I am the organiser of and it was a great success. It was really fun too! Steve is a very inspiring person to meet since he truly cares about people he delivers talks for and people can feel that. Moreover, Steve is very reliable person to work with. Could not recommend anyone higher!!!
I just wanted to pass our thanks on to Steve for the invigorating and entertaining speech / presentation he delivered to our Sixth Form induction day students along with the current Year 12 students.Right from the word ‘go’ Steve captivated their attention; he has the ability to include everyone, even the quieter students. Everything Steve spoke about was so exact and real, teachers and students thoroughly enjoyed the hour we spent with him and the students were still talking about it during their lunch break.
We would definitely recommend other schools, especially KS4 and KS5 to book Steve
We had an amazing day on Tuesday with Steve. The students really benefited from his workshop, was great to see them all so engaged and enthusiastic about it. I had lots of students tell me how good he was and they were so glad we’d booked him in for that day as they all found it the most enjoyable and useful.
I thought Steve was fantastic and made a great impression with everyone.
Thank you so much for this evening – Steve was superb.
We will be back in touch with him soon
Steve is a great speaker who really engaged and entertained the students.
The feedback that I have heard has all been excellent – as I am sure is always the case with Steve with the orange tie!
Great session today, some real eye opening points made and as someone starting again to find what they actually want out of their career this helped to show me it’s not such a crazy thing to do
Steve was absolutely fantastic, staff were totally captivated with his enthusiasm and energy. Plus there were plenty of memory activities for staff to take away to incorporate immediately.
Our students REALLY enjoyed Steve’s presentation, delivery style and advice.
Steve’s dynamic LPT presentation kept the students engaged and the feedback that we have received has been very positive from students.
